Its members are widespread in lowland tropical Central and South America up to 1,500 meters. They are found on trees, stumps or old fence posts. Catasetinae are exclusively pollinated by male euglossine bees, which are attracted to the floral fragrances, and collect them. A particular Catasetinae species may attract only one or a few species of bees from the dozens that occur in the habitat.Williams & Whitten 1983 Genera * ''Catasetum'' (80–120 species) * '' Clowesia'' (7 species) * '' Cyanaeorchis'' (3 species) * '' Cycnoches'' (some 30 species) * '' Dressleria'' (10 species) * ''Galean ...

Clowesia
''Clowesia'' is a genus of the family Orchidaceae. Species of this genus are epiphytic and contain many pseudobulbs with several internodes. The leaves of this plant are arranged alternatively in two vertical rows on opposite sides of the rachis. ''Clowesia'' has a simple gullet flower that allows for pollination by male euglossine bees. The flowers are often unisexual and contain a viscidium. Species Seven species of this genus are currently recognized, all native to southern Mexico, Central America, and northern South America. Hybrids ''Clowesia'' is in the subtribe Catasetinae, and can be hybridized with the genus ''Catasetum ''Catasetum'', abbreviated as Ctsm. in horticultural trade, is a genus of showy epiphytic Orchids, family Orchidaceae, subfamily Epidendroideae, tribe Cymbidieae, subtribe Catasetinae, with 166 species, many of which are highly prized in hortic ...'', giving ''Clowesetum''.

Catasetum
''Catasetum'', abbreviated as Ctsm. in horticultural trade, is a genus of showy epiphytic Orchids, family Orchidaceae, subfamily Epidendroideae, tribe Cymbidieae, subtribe Catasetinae, with 166 species, many of which are highly prized in horticulture. Species of the genus ''Catasetum'' occur from Mexico to Argentina, including much of Central America, the West Indies, and South America. The largest number of species is in Brazil. Biology They have thick, cigar-shaped pseudobulbs which are clustered. The leaves are pleated in the upper part and deciduous. The pseudobulbs become spiny after the leaves have dropped. The inflorescence is borne on the basis. It consists of very fleshy flowers that are unisexual, which is exceptional for orchids. The colorful male and yellowish-green female flowers are typically situated on different plants, a phenomenon known as dioecy. Which type of flower a plant produces is determined by the conditions under which it grows. Male and female flo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Euglossini
The tribe (biology), tribe Euglossini, in the subfamily Apinae, commonly known as orchid bees or euglossine bees, are the only group of Pollen basket, corbiculate bees whose non-parasitic members do not all possess Eusociality, eusocial behavior. Description Most of the tribe's species are solitary, though a few are communal, or exhibit simple forms of eusociality. There are about 200 described species, distributed in five genera: ''Euglossa'', ''Eulaema'', ''Eufriesea'', ''Exaerete'' and the monotypic ''Aglae''. All exclusively occur in South or Central America (though one species, ''Euglossa dilemma'', has become established in the United States). The genera ''Exaerete'' and ''Aglae'' are Kleptoparasite, kleptoparasites in the nests of other orchid bees. All except ''Eulaema'' are characterized by brilliant metallic coloration, primarily green, gold, and blue. Females gather pollen and nectar as food from a variety of plants, and resins, mud and other materials for nest build ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
